Weight room myths:
Messes up your shot
Makes you big/bulky
Makes you slow
Makes you less flexible

Weight room truths:
Makes you stronger
Decreases chance for injuries
Increases stamina
Makes you more confident/mentally tough

No more excuses! Get in the weight room & get better!

We had a great time this month getting to share a little bit more about our profession and highlighting what exactly it is that we do. We can’t let #NATM go by without thanking our incredible coaches and admin here at Cambridge! Thank you for all that you do to support us 💙

S/O 4th period for helping clean and organize weight room! Place is back in order. @Cambridge_AD let’s hope all the teams using it will make sure it looks like this when they leave!

[Cambridge High School Strength & Conditioning @Bears_Strength]

Agreed!

Friday morning fun.

Almost lost it on the last rep, bar was cutting off my oxygen 😂

(Form police, take it on the chin. It’s February, it’s not perfect yet. That’s why we work. If there was no progress to be made, there’d be no point in working.)

More is not always better. Work smarter not harder. @coachgearheart always has those boys ready.

This is a great way to see how @BaseballUGA follows a periodized approach to training & effects how our athletes recovery. A programmed DELOAD week going into a 4 game weekend series. They come back after the weekend with HIGHEST scores of the spring.... @ugabaseballPD #RiseAbove

Starting something = 0.1% of effort
Doing it consistently = 99.9% of effort

Have an athlete that broke his humerus,had surgery&has had some nerve issues.Few months ago was quiet & withdrawn.Has been steadily getting grip strength thru DB holds etc & has begun TBDL.He has a smile again. Confidence returning.Can't convince me S&C isn't necessary in schools

[David Ballou @UA_CoachBallou]

Confidence is contagious.....so is weakness

Toughness is contagious.....so is softness

Discipline is contagious.....so is lack of control

Pick your crowd carefully.

When it’s #Cambridgereads and you have the strength coach as your advisement teacher you get to read about the human body and how to train! @AgansPrincipal @bearsmediactr @Bears_Strength

[Conor Hughes @ConorHughes67]

Highschool and young college athletes,

Want your strength numbers to skyrocket???

For the next 6 months, DO NOT fail on your main exercises. Hit every single rep with focused intent and great technique.

Stop maxing out everyday.

Check back in with me in 6 months.

Reasons NOT to wear a weightlifting belt:

-Back pain
-Your back feels weak
-You see an elite athlete wearing one
-You want to “look the part”

Reasons to wear a weightlifting belt:

-Improved stability at max weights

[Squat University @SquatUniversity]

Myths of the Weight Room:

-You need to be SORE after every workout to make progress.
-The knees should NEVER pass your toes when squatting.
-Deep squats are HORRIBLE for your knees.
-Those with 6-packs always have GREAT core stability.

[Cambridge Sports Medicine @bearssportsmed]

Make sure you’re making the MOST out of this time at home! Remember: even though we’re not on campus I am still available for anything you might need! @Cambridge_AD @Bears_Strength @CoachBennett29

[Luke Ritter @lukeritter_]

Excited to say I have received an offer from Stetson university! @coachbkyoung @StetsonFootball @Cambridge_AD @CoachBennett29

[Cambridge High School Strength & Conditioning @Bears_Strength]

A good simple workout option for you to do during quarantine. Coach Rowling and his new fiancé crushed it this morning! #COVID19

[Charley Gould, CSCS @CharleyGouldSCC]

Athletes: don't fall into the trap of thinking that you need to go for long runs to make up for no practice/games. Aerobic endurance sticks around fairly easily, but speed and power don't - especially if you're jogging all the time. Ditch the slow stuff, get outside, and sprint!
